EMBROIDERY-MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, FRANK MAnsciiALnK,

a subject of the King of Hungary, residing the size of the articlevarying according to'l the size 'of the frame whichmay be used, and istherefore not intended for use in the making of embroidery 10 and 12yards long, as is the ordinary Swiss machine.

The. object of the invention is the provi'- sion of a machine of the.character described by means of which both halves ot' the Work can becompleted at' the same time and by means et' which a great many articlesof the' same kind maybe made at-the same time.

A further vobject of the invention is the provision ofv a'nimproved-machine of the character described in which the Workfranies''are supported transversely of the length of the machine. t n

A further object of the invention is the provision of an improvedmachine of-'the and and borers'lshiftable into and out -of the work mayalso beshifted in Atransverse planes relatively to said work instead ofthe work and borers, as in' my contemporaneously pending application,Serial No. 833,595, filed Aprilf22, 1914. g

A further object of the invention is the provision of an-improvedmachine o f the character described, comprising a series ofindependently supported work frames and a series of sets of yneedles andborers so organized that eachl set may consist of at least two needlesand two borers for each frame whereby both halves off/the work may becompleted at .the same time,

l A further object of the invention is thev provision of an improvedmachine of the character described iiiwhich the work frames aresupported.v in two series, one

i' above 4the other,i transversely of tlie chine, and the needles andborers are likebeing shifted relatively to 'the needles Specification oiLetters Patent. Patented Sept, 2S, 1915. Application filed March 26,1914. iSerialiNo. 8 17,283. i

' wise supported in two series one above the other, each Seriesconsisting'of a set of needles and a set of borers, whereby both halvesof the work can be completed at the same tiine," and which borers andneedles are automatically.shifted into and out of the vwork and alsomanuallyl shiftable in transverse planes relatively to the work.

In' the ordinary Swiss embroidery machine, the. embroidery fra-me isusually twelve yards long and is moved up anddown and endwise by meansof a panto graph, while the needles and borers are simply .shiftableinto'and out ot the work. In the present improvement, however, 'the Workframes are located transversely of the -machine and maybe of any desiredsize according to the work to be done and it the machine is twelve yards4long it will accommodate a series of work frames one set at the top andthe other set' at the bottomof the machine, preferably one above theother, whereby a large number ot articles of similar character may bemade at the. same time, and in the present instance instead 'oi'shifting the framesrelatively to the needles and borers the latter areshifted, in addition to their ordinary movement in and out of the work,in transverse planes relatively to the work, and inthe presentlorganization I am able t'o provide two needles and two borers torsimultaneously working on each frame, whereby, as hereinbeforestate'dyboth halves of a piece of lwork can be completed at the sametime, whereas' in prior machines of .this general charactery only oneneedle could work at a time on an article. In short, in the present`improvement each work frame has its own'needles and borers and each setof needles and borers is `located above another setthereoi'.

In the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification,AFigure 1 clearly toillustrate the improvement; Fig.'

4 is an enlarged detail view, partly in sec` tion, of the left-hand en dof thermachin'e shown in l, taken at the right of the pantog'raph; Fig.5 'is a detail-view of a needle and borer bar and the carryingmachinefwith certain parts omitted more -deemed sufiicient.

shafts therefor, this View being taken on line 5.-5, Fig. 4; Fig. (3 isa sectional plan View taken on line 6 6, Fig. 1; Fig. 7 is an enlarged,partly sectional, view illustrating a part of the mechanism shown inFig. 4, and this view is taken on line 7 7, Fig. 3; and FigsS and S) aredetail views illustrating in part the-connection Abetween the,`

pantograph lever system and. the parts which 'it controls.

Similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in theseveral figures of the drawings.

. The framework ofthe machine in the present improvement consists offour uprights, one at each corner of the machine,

and each of these uprights, (see Fig. 6),

consists of a substantially U-shaped post 2. These four U-shapeduprights are connected at their tops by lengthwise extending beams 3 andcrosswise extending beams 4, and are similarly connected at theirbottoms' by lengthwise extending beams and crosswise extending beams v7,thus forming a rectangular frame for the support of the variousmechanisms.

The wor/.3 or embroidery frames-Cari ried by the framework described isa series of work frames made up of two sets, 8 and 9, one set supportedabove the other transversely of the length of the machine, and theframes of each set are suitably spaced apart for the positioning andoperation of the 1) onefor ea'ch. work frame. Rigidly secured to eachlengthwise extending supporting bar l l I A 10 at tne rear of the framesis a series of lugs 19, one for each frame, each being located atthe-'rear side thereof and against which .the bottom of the frame isclamped.

For this purpose, each angle iron formed bar.

1o carries a sliding bar 13l having a series of rigidly connected lugs14 movable therewith and one located in position at the front of eachframe, this lug being shiftable, as stated. with the sliding'bar wherebyit may be moved into engagement with or from the frame to release thesame to permit the frame vto be slid out of its guides. For shiftingthis shiftable lug each shiftahle bar 1? is provided at its forward endwith a rack in engagement with a pinion. the operation of which willmove the shifmble bar and release or clamp the arms of the frames,

s sllitable coil spring 16 being used to draw the shiftable lugs intoengagement with `the fixed lugs, (see Fig. 1). The pinions for the upperset'of fralnes and for the lower set of frames a re connected kby links18 and 19 and a connecting rod 2 0, and on grasping the connect-ingrodand moving the shiftable bars the frames may be all simultaneouslyreleased'or engaged. l i

The nec/(Ho (mtl borer mechrmfsmr-Jlwo series of needles and borers and31 are provided, one series above the other, and each series consistso'f a set of needles and a set of borers, two needles and two borers 33for each frame, so that two needles and two borers will always beworking on each upper frame and a similar number of im-Kv Yplements oneach lower frame.

Extending lengthwise of the machine are two hollow parallel bearings 34,35, which are supported for movement towar'd and away from each otherand'each of which carries at each end a pair of rollers 3G, (see Figs.4, 6 and 7), and these rollers are mounted on a supporting track40,'each having at its ends a pair of antifriction rollers 37 located ina U-shaped guideway 38 of theupright posts 2. Extending through each ofthese hollow .hearings is a pair of shafts 41, 42, and these shafts are.supported for lengthwise movement relatively to said bearing.A Carriedby each of the hollow bearings is a series of upwardly and downwardly'extending U-shaped fixed arms 43 integrally formed withsuch bearings,the U-shaped arms,corresponding in number with the number of workframes` and these U-shaped arms at their lower and upper endsrespectively open into enlarged portions 44 of the hollow bearings.These U-shaped arms form the guiding means for the needle and borerbars, (see for instance Fig. 3 and Fig. Each of these U-shaped armscarries a needle bar and a borer bar` one of each set carrying. a needleand the other a borer at its end, and the juxtaposed ends of the upperand lower needle and borer hars are secured to the shafts 41 auth-12 soas to shift therewith when these shafts are moved lengthwise, theU-shaped supporting arms being of sufficient depth to permit thisshifting, and whenthe shafts are shifted .lengthwise the needlesandborers are shifted into and out of the work in the usual manner. Theborers of the entire series at one side ofthe frames are connected toone shaft, as 4:2, while the needles of the entire series at the sameside iare all connected to the other shaft, as 41. These shafts, whichare slidinglyv mounted in the hollow bearings, project beyond the endsof such hollow bearings and the squared and shouldered ends 45 of thefour shafts ateach end of the machine arel mounted in a'slide which isin the a link'210 which supports it .between its ends, and this link 210is in turn pivotally connected at its lower end between the convergingends of the supporting brackets. The link 209 extends back and ispivotally connected to an adjustable vblock scttable in anv desiredfixed position ina vertical slot 211 carried b v an upright bracket 212,(see Figs. 1 and 2), and to this bracket, which is forked at its lowerend for this purpose, is secured a' rack member having two sets of teeth213 and 214, (see Fig. 8), one at each side thereof, and these rackteeth are in engagement with a pairof pinions 215 and 216 mounted onshort upright shafts 217 and 218 carrying similar pinions 219 and 220 attheir lower ends, (see Figs. 2 and 4). One of these shafts is shorterthan the other and the pinions 219 and 220 mesh with a pair of racks 221and 222 respectively, (see Figs. 2 and 4), which racks are formed withdovetail guiding portions 223 adapted to slide in similarly formedguides 224, which guides 4are formed as part of a bracket (see Fig. 4),secured to that U-shaped cross member 90 which is located at thelefthand end of the .machine This guide. bracket also has bearings for'the two upright short shafts. This bracket 225 has a forwardlyextending portion 225 on which is secured a horizontal slideway 230,(see Fig. 4), in which the double rack hereinbefore described can move apredetermined distance back and forth. This guideway230 supports a pairof upwardly converging arms 231 and 232 which terminate in a pair ofslotted racks 233 and 234, which racks are also supported at their rearsides by abracket 235 which is secured at its lower end to thatU-sha'ped member 9.0 which is at the left-hand end of the machine. Thus,as stated, thedouble faced rack 213, 214, -which is secured to the lowerend of the bracket 212 which is fixedly but adjustably connected to theinner end of the lever or link '209 of the pantogra-ph;\may have asufficient movement in its/.slideway 230 to rotate the pinions 2146and217 and thus shift the racks f221 and 222 to move the hollow bearingslat'- erally in the manner about to be described.

', The two .racks 221 and 222 are secured to bracket arms 226 and 227,one for each rack,

and the bracket arm 226 is secured to one of.

l of, and therefore whenTlv these two racks are shifted by\means oftheir pinions, which are shifted by" the double-faced rack hereinbeforedescribed, they will movethe hollow .cross members 4G are reciprocablein the U- shaped portions of the cross members 90, while at the Sametimethe shafts may slide laterally when the hollow bearings are shiftedtoward or from each other on the tracks 40 in the guideways formedinthe-cross members 4G, which are carried within the U- shaped portions ofthe cross members 90, so that the shafts thus have two movements, alengthwise movement and a crosswise movement, the lengthwise movementbeing within the hollo'w bearings andthe crosswise movement being withthe hollow bearings.

g From the foregoing it will therefore be seen that when the pantographis manipulated by the operator in a vertical direction it will, throughthe medium of the lever system and the fixed but adjustable connectionof the lever 209 with the vertical slot 211, raise and lower the crossbeams 90 and-all the parts connected therewith, thus raising andlowering the hollow bearings and therewith the shayfts 41 and 42 and theneedle and borer bars, so that the needles and borers may be shifted ina vertical plane, the counterbalancing weight 93 hereinbefore describedbalancingv these parts in such a. manner as to permit this.

As hereinbefore stated, the double-faced rack 213, 214 may have amovement through the medium of the pantograph in its slide 230 to rotatethe pinions and thereby the racks 221 and 222 so as to move the hollowbearings laterally or toward and from each other and thereby give theneedles and borersa movement transversely of their vertical movement,and this is accomplished by providing an adjustable but relatively fixedslide 240, (see Figs. 2 and 4), adjustable up and down on the slottedracks'233 and 234 but fixed at any desired point relatively thereto bywing nuts 241, and this slide has a dovetail guideway therein in whichis located a block 245 secured to or integral with the bracket 212, sothat when the pantograph 200 is swung transversely of its up-and-downmovement it will move the member 212 in this guide 240 and thus shiftthe double-faced rack at its lower end in the slideway 230 and therebyoperate the pinions 216 and 217 in the'manner hereinbefore r describedand so 4shift the racks 221 and 222 i tending across the machine. Inother words',

there is one of these bars 46 at the rear end and one at the forward endof the machine for supporting the series of four shafts. Each of thesebars 46 is provided at its ends, at its upper and lower sides, withrollers 47,

` (see Figs. 6 and'7), projecting into U-shaped vguides 48 of shiftableupright members 49,

which membersy are provided at their tops and bottoms with rollers 50mounted on tracks l'carried by the U-shaped posts 2 of 'the framework,'(seel `igs. 4, 6 and 7).

DWI/ving madam/Sm for the nccdles,aml 150mm-T his comprises, (see Figs.1 .and 2) al fast pulley 60 and a loose pulley 61 mounted on astub shaft62, (see IFig. 1), and driven by `any suitable source of power. Securedto the fast pulley 60-is an eccentric or cam 63. In engagement with thiseccentric 63 is a cam. roller 64, which cam roller is carried at thelower end of an upright rod 65 mounted in a suitable bracket 66 securedto the framework and -between the upper and lowerbearings 67 and 68 ofwhich bracket a coil spring 69' is secured to the rod, by'means of whichthe camv roller is maintained in engagement with the eccentric. Securedto this upright rod is a crosswise extending rod 70, and to each end ofthis rod 7 0l is attached a link 71, theoppol site end of which ispivotally connected to the frame member' 49 hereinbefore referred' to atits lower end, the upper end of each frame member being similarlyconnected to a link 72 the opposite end of4 which connected toaconnecting rod 73, the lower end ofwhich is secured to the rod 70,whereby on the up and down movement ofthe cam roller the two framemembers 49 at the lefthand end of the machine will be moved back andforward on its tvacks, andas it is necessary that the similar framemembers at the opposite end of the machine 'be moved simulf taneously aconnecting' mechanism is provided for thisl purpose, this consisting atthe bottom of the machine of a link 75 connected to aA bell crank lever76, which in turn is connected by a rod or lever 77 with a bell crank 78at the opposite end of the machine,

-' which in turn is similarly connected by links 79 and 80 throughthemedium of a rod or shaft 81, and at the 'top of the machine -the link 72at the forward end and the similar link 7 2'- atthe rear end areconnected by a somewhat similar connecting mechanism comprising levers82, 82', bell cranks 83,

83 and connecting lever or rod 84, the links 72' and 80 at therear endof the machine being in turn connected by a rod or lever 73', wherebyboth frames 49,"that is oneat the forward end and the other at the rearend, at each side of the machine will be shifted back and forwardsimultaneously to slidethe shafts 41 and' 42 in their hollow bearingsand thereby act-nate the needlesand.

borers tocarry them into and 'out of the work.

If it is desired to stop the machinel atany time when the cam rolleroreccentric is at the highest point, at which time of course the spring isunder its greatest tension, a

lever 85 having a forked end straddling the cam -carrying rod andprojecting under the spring is provided. This lever 'carries a pawl 86in engagement with a ratchet 87.

On manipulating this lever the spring can be held at its highest pointand thus free of engagement with the eccentric or cam.

vMechowl/sm for moving tbemiedles and borers up and clown andZate?aZZg/.-The two cross members 46 which support the ends ofv y thesliding shafts at the front and rear of the machine are carried in turnby a pair ofv whichlikewise extend across the machine,

(see Figs. 6 and 7),'is provided at its opposite ends, at the frontside, with rollers 91 projecting into Ushaped guides 9270i? the U-shapedposts 2, and to each of these U- shaped members is rigidly securedv thesupporting track '40 hereinbefore described Iwhich supports the ends ofthe two hollow bearings carryingthe two sets of shafts 41 and 42. videdat each end with a balancing weight 93, the cable 94 of which extendsovera pulley 95, and by this means the entire system of needles andborers is properly counterbalanced.

llhe upand down movement of the U- s shaped supports 90, and thereforeof the entire system of needles and borers is obtained through themedium of a pantograph 200, which may be of the usual construction. Thispantograph is supported by a pair of brackets 2 02, which brackets aresecured to the upright posts at the left-hand end of the machine andconverge toward each other, (see Fig. 3), and each of these bracketscomprises a-pair of arms 204 and 205, each of the rrms 205 having abea-ring for the shaft of tle pulley 95 and a support for the bell crank83. The pantograph lever system is suitably counter-balanced by means ofa weight 203 extending over a'guide pulley ,1 203', and which pulley iscarried by' an ad'- 1 .justable bearing'206 lmounted on a standard207'.' The lever system Vof the panto,g"raplt includes -a pair oflinks'208 and 209, the" 1 link208 being pivotallylconnected between theconverging endsofthe two brackets, while the link -209 is pivotallyconnected to The supporting track 40 is pro-y magari -pantographlias acertain limited operation,

and if it is desired to operate say at the top or the bottoni of theboard or pattern the slide 240 is,by means of itsjing nuts, adjustedfarther up or farther dow-nas the case may be. i

The shuffle 7w('hrm.s'm.-Sitable shuttle niechanism provided for each`set of needles and boi-ers, and as each is a duplicate of the others adescription of one is suiiicient. The shuttle 250 for each needle iscarried in a raeeway Q51. at the rear. of its frame. This raeewayislinked by a pair of pivoted links or levers2 2 arid to one face of aU-shaped arm, and by means of a pair of segmental brackets 254 and 255likewise carried b v the U-shaped arm and suitable. pins, the racewaymay be swung into or out of position, thereby permitting` ready removalof the work frames. Cai'- ried by the upper link is a, segmentallyformed track 250, in which is located a chain 257, and to this chain, bymeans of a linkage s vsteni the shuttle is connected, and this chain isin turn connected at its lowerend to a member 259, which is pivoted tothe U-shaped arm, and this arm is provided at 'its forward end withaslot 260 into which projects a pin` 261 'projecting through a slot ofthe U-shaped arm, and this pin is connected with the needle bar, so thatwhen the needle moves back and forth into or out of the work. the pinoperates the lever'or link and so shifts the chain in its' segmental'gnideway or raceway and thereby moves the shuttle up and down, the

different positions of the same shuttle being shown in Fig. 4. it willthus be seen that by this mechanism, when the needles are movedvertically or horizontally through the means hereinbefore described theentire shuttle mechanism moves therewith. Connected-with this levei orlink i259 is a. spring presser 202 for pressing the-work away from theneedles when it is withdrawn. A spool 270 is carried by each uiriglit,and the thread is led over an idler 2 l and turned around the same once,and

from thence it passes to a take-up device 272 ithe inner end of which islikewise connected with the chain, and this take -up device passestlirougli a slot of the upper link 252.

As hereinbefore. stated` the shuttle mechanism for each set of needlesis the same., and

this is trne of the shuttle mechanism for the upper sets of needles, butthe shuttle mechanismv for the ,lower sets of needles, while operatingthe same, are slightly different in vthe'detailed construction, but itis deemed unnecessary to further describethe same.

F or braking the roll once, and each idler roll has a braking arotatable shaft 303.

series of U-sliapcd threads, the thread, i.hereinbeforestated, passesaround `the idler ing at its lower end arack 301, each ofv which isengaged by a pinion 302 carried by This shaft is provided with a pinion304 suitably supported, and which pinion is engaged by another pinion305 carried by a hand wheel 30G, the manipulation of which will operateall of the braking mechanisms to increase or decrease the tension on theidler rolls and thereby the tension on the threads. Each 4rod 300 hasfrictional engagement with its idler roll, for which purpose each rod isshown with its upper or lower end, as the ease may be, bent intoengagement with theI roll. it therefore follows that, by reason ofthe-inclination of this iod adjacent to the-engagement. thereof with itsroll, the manipulation of the rod up or down places greateifvorlesstension, as desired, upon the roll. i

It will be understood that the various details may be changed withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope of this improvement, the presentembodiment of the machine illustrating one form of mechanism which maybe used for carrying out the. invention, and that other meansinay beused in connection` with the pantograph and the power for actuating theneedles and boi-ers in the manner herein shown and described. andthereforel applicant does not limit himseliZ to the specific mechanismherein shown and ldescribed for accomplishing this purpose.
